If you're looking for the fight of the fish, chums are under-rated as fighters.

Yes a  ***ty year. So I guess thats what their calling it when we actually get decent amounts of rain spread out over reasonable intervals. Maybe you guys are just getting too used to the low and clear.

My God, I've been reprimanded! My own mother has never spoken so harshly! :o

Rodney posted 24 freaking pages worth of comments by members regarding this issue and some people think that they can still shed new light onto this old and tiresome debate. It's time to lay it to rest....until the next sockeye season, like some had suggested.  ;D

Since I have nothing positive to add as Gooey says, I am officially leaving this site for good. I feel tired. Gooey, your mother gave you good advice, but she forgot to give you spellchecker, as your spelling is, well...., not very good. If you want write impressively you've got to spell "metastasize" properly the first time or else you'll end up sounding like Homer Simpson.

OK, I'm off to join the others who have gone off into the sunset, to be part of the army of the silent. Where are you Randog?? Where is Chris Gadsden?? Tight lines and good fishing to all. Good Bye! ;D

This poor horse sure has been flossed enough, huh??.   ::)

Just to add a few feet to the leader, Ill say that just because DFO doesnt say flossing is illegal dosnt mean Ill do it.  For example, these guys said it was ok for driftnets to operate in the Fraser.

These are not people Id base my personal fishing ethics on.

Ethics is your actions and behaviour when no one is watching.

A problem well stated is a problem half solved.

Since when was snagging just a question of ethics and personal choice?

And CG doesnt have a computer at the moment poor guy.  His house is being torn down around him and rebuilt.
He's hanging in there though and Im sure soon he'll be banging out some reports.
He's been getting into some fish too, but hasnt been out much last couple of days though.

I'm laughing my arse off.  Hehehehe it's way too funny, man! Harvesting sockeyes is top priority, you know. Never mind hypocrisy. Gotta have them sockeyes.
wink wink nudge nudge.

I thing I notice alot lately that I can't stand is the gomers who cut off the heads and leave them at the river. I see some people actually filleting fish too, man.
